The Sony X77L is a lower midrange price TV, and it's less expensive than the Sony X93L. The X77L has a decent performance overall but isn't as bright, making it less ideal for very sunny rooms; it also has lower quality for watching movies and sports. If gaming is a priority, it offers acceptable performance, but it's not the best choice for immersive gaming experiences due to a lower refresh rate and response time. On the other hand, the Sony X93L comes at an upper midrange price and provides a much brighter screen, which is great for bright rooms. It excels in displaying movies, sports, and games with superior motion processing and response time, making it a very good choice for an immersive experience in various content types. Additionally, its sound quality is better and it offers an extra HDMI port, which is great for connecting multiple devices. If you're on a budget and don't need top-of-the-line features, the X77L could be a good choice. However, if you're looking for premium picture quality, especially in bright rooms, and better gaming performance, and are willing to spend more, the X93L is the better option. Give Feedback

The Sony X93L (LCD) is very good for sports, while the Sony X77L (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X93L has a much better response time and motion processing compared to the Sony X77L, which are very important for watching sports as they reduce motion blur and improve clarity during fast-moving scenes. Additionally, the X93L handles reflections better and has a wider viewing angle, making it more suitable for group viewing in bright rooms. However, the X77L does have good gray uniformity, which is somewhat important, but it doesn't outweigh the advantages of the X93L in the key areas for sports watching.

The Sony X93L (LCD) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Sony X77L (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X93L provides a much better experience for news and TV programs due to excellent SDR brightness and better upscaling, which means it will display lower resolution content more clearly and brightly, making it a great choice for daytime viewing or rooms with lots of lights. Conversely, while the Sony X77L is more affordable and offers fair SDR brightness and upscaling, its lower performance in these key areas means it won't be as clear or bright, making it less suitable for bright rooms or discerning viewers who prioritize picture quality.

The Sony X93L (LCD) is excellent for bright room, while the Sony X77L (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X93L outshines the Sony X77L in bright rooms due to its excellent SDR and HDR brightness, better handling reflections, and a superior contrast ratio that can make colors pop even in well-lit environments. While both TVs offer reasonable color volume and gamut, the higher brightness and reflection handling of the X93L make it a better fit for rooms with a lot of ambient light.
